At least seven explosions, low-flying aircraft, and one column of smoke have been seen in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, according to eye-witness reports.
The southern area of the capital, near a major military base, was also without electricity.
Venezuela’s government did not immediately reply to AP’s request for comment.
The cause and and precise locations of the disturbances were not immediately clear.
Update: US President Donald Trump says the US has captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Just ignore the far right but jobs here.
Where did you hear about that? Is there a link? I never see any info on planned protests on Lemmy, which is a shame. Is this usually Facebook?
The image in question I yoinked from here (not part of this group): https://www.greenleft.org.au/2026-01/event/emergency-actions-hands-venezuela-stop-bombings-melbourne
I just found out about this via word of mouth (well, via chat groups).
This came about very last minute, I don’t think any one group in particular organised this.
aussie.zone does not seem to be somewhere for organising (communities need to be approved by the admin). Though haven’t actually tried to make a “activism”/“events” community, so it may well be approved.
Else, I’ve just had a bit of a search on quokk.au:
https://quokk.au/c/events
Perhaps I’ll encourage people to post there. (Seems aussie.zone hasn’t synced that community yet, probably because no one has searched it until now)
Thanks for the links. There’s nothing where I live, but I expected. I’ll keep an eye on quokk.au, although I think that’s basically just one guy.
